All poetry by Sri Chinmoy

The spiritual life means
The Beauty of God's Compassion
And the Fragrance of His Love.


No sacrifice -
Just love is needed
To realise God.


My Lord, I want to live
Between my outer simplicity
And my inner tranquility.


God wants me
To lighten the sufferings
Of others.


Self-giving
Is the direct route
To our God-Destination.


To serve
Is to change the face
Of humanity.


One becomes rich,
Very rich,
In the inner world
By spending onenself.


If you can avoid
The temptation-world,
Then you have definitely conquered
God's Heart.


Living in the Heart of God
Is the only satisfaction
That can please the seeker.


The mind
Continuously steals
Our heart's joy.


My life has to be
As bright and illumining
As a star
In the midnight sky.


The eyes of the heart
Turn always
Towards God.


Everybody knows
The untold problems of life,
But very few turn
Towards the Light.


What is happening every day
Before our very eyes?
Concern for the improvement
Of humanity
Is inside our mouths
And not inside our hearts.


The aspiring man
Is truly the centre
Of God's inner World.


To search for and discover
The soul
Is a matter of centuries.


My heart prays to God
When there is no whisper
Of disturbance.


The importance of God's Love
Is every day increasing
Inside my heart.


Although the Universe is infinite,
The aspiration-heart has a free access
To the Heart of the Universe.


Emptiness
Is the journey's start.


The Master's heart
Is made of affection.


Once we see God,
The attraction of the world
Fades away.


Once we see God,
Every human being
Is precious.


O seeker,
Every day you must be prepared
For a major adjustment
In your spiritual life.


A child's heart
Is a secret
God-magnetic power.


~ Sri Chinmoy
